CANINE CANYON Park 🐕🐩 - Fully Fenced in Central San Diego | Sniffspot
55Came to Fenway's with my frisbee-obsessed, energetic 40 lb dog and her 60 lb bestie. Lots of smells, they loved that! The yard is big enough for some Frisbee/ball fetching and it is GRASSY! ❤️ Didn't encounter any other animals and it's a great play spot for my dog-reactive dog. They had a blast, definitely keeping this spot on rotation! Thanks for having us!Gina S.

55Absolutely loved how convenient and straightforward all instructions were and my dog had a blast! The turf and concrete can get really hot, but since we booked the pool as well, it was not an issue since my dog could cool down her paws in the water. Recommend booking with pool add on! Will definitely book again!Gabi R.

Mercedes's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In San Diego | Sniffspot
55We will definitely be coming back here! Beautiful, secure yard and pool. There were no distractions for reactive dogs (like mine) and it is a very private, quiet area. The pool is perfect for first timers like my pup. It has a single large step which made it very easy for my dog to get in and out. There was a hose to rinse him off. Mercedes even left a towel with a few treats, lovely touch. Can’t wait to come back!Lindsay D.

55This was such an amazing experience! The backyard was absolutely beautiful, very clean and safe for my dog. My dog is an escape artist, so it was great to see how secure the space is. He is also very reactive so it was great to just let him off the leash and have him run around for a bit. Aside from the backyard being very dog friendly, it is also very comfortable for humans. The shade and the lounging chairs are an excellent touch and it was extremely relaxing. Will definitely book again! Karen M.

55Excellent Sniffspot. Plenty of parking out front. Nice size, clean yard with artificial turf (no burrs or foxtails!), and plenty of shade. There was fresh cool water put out before we arrived and a big box of toys and comfy chairs for the humans. We'll visit here again!Tracy S.

55The spot is great. My dog is sensitive to heat and I chose a midday visit (`77 degrees F), which was unfortunate because she heated up pretty quickly, even though she kept going to the shady areas. Plenty of drinking water available. She so needed to run, explore. and sniff, all of which she did! Elizabeth L.

55This was a wonderful spot for a playdate. It was easy to find the correct house as there was a sign on the front gate. The yard was secure, had shade, and plenty of toys and agility equipment to use. I would definitely visit again. Christina X.

FAQ About San Diego Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks.

Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
